Franklin Cover 2/10/06

You're probably wonder who on earth is this guy? Well its Tom Willis from The Jeffersons. He was part of the at the time cutting edge interracial couple with Roxie Roker. When the show was on at the time I guess it was a big deal but I was just a kid and it didn't strike me as odd. I thinkn The Jefferson's is truly a gem of a little show with George and Florence always getting after each other. Well since its a Friday and in honor of Franklin I've put together a special CITW remix to the tune of The Jefferson's theme song. Yes technically he does fall below the Branigan Line but this is more about my appreciation of The Jefferson's theme song. Here ya go:

Well he’ll be movin’ on up
Up in the sky
To join his TV wife who also died
Movin’ on up
To the east side
He gets to tell Weezie “hi”

Fish don’t fry in the kitchen
Beans don’t burn on the grill
They broke all the barriers
White guy and black wife will
Now he’s gone from the big leagues
Got his turn at bat
As long as he’s alive, he got acting gigs
There ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Well he’ll be movin’ on up
Up in the sky
To join his TV wife who also died
Movin’ on up
To the east side
He gets to tell Weezie “hi”
